Many people with a hearing loss have benefitted from attending a lipreading class. Classes often include:
- Lipreading practice in a friendly atmosphere
- Strategies and tactics for difficult situations
- A chance to share problems with others with similar difficulties
- Information about assistive devices (such as flashing door bells)
- Information on hearing aids and how to look after them
- Information about useful organisations (such as Hearing Link or RNID)
